The given poem ‘The Fly’ is penned by Tony Bradman. He is the author of children’s books and is best known for the ‘Dilly the Dinosaur’ series. The given poem is written for children. It is about a troublesome and irritating Fly.

Once a fly flew into the poet’s bedroom and buzzed round his wardrobe. It sat on the window pane, flew round the lampshade. It landed on his pillow and started walking on his nose. He puffed the fly when it came near his eyes and it started walking on the ceiling.

The buzzing sound drove the poet mad and he could not sleep at all. Round the bedpost, walking on the floor, buzzing on the door and at last the fly buzzed off and the poet was happy and closed his eyes to sleep. What a surprise! It is back again.
